Interim way to handle https requests while SSL certificate is being arranged?

  • 772

What can I do to handle https requests while an SSL certicate is being arranged?

The https requests are being made from a desktop app so there are no browsers involved.

Are there free certs I can put in without disrupting anything?

ssl

  1. If a self signed wont work as suggested by nickw you can free cents from http://cert.startcom.org/

    We have used them for quite a few websites that we want to secure without any issues

  2. Add a self signed certificate, a browser will complain (your app may or may not), but after acceptance it will work. If you search for self signed certificates, you can find many a tutorial like this.
